Celtic Great Horned Owl tattoo design
A Celtic Great Horned Owl, symbol of wisdom and the all-seeing power of spirit. One of the birds most favored by the ancient ones, moving with silent and deadly precision through the forests.
“Owl," said Rabbit shortly, "you and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest--and when I say thinking I mean thinking--you and I must do it.”
― A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner

A custom Celtic semicolon tattoo for a man whose brother was thankfully saved from suicide. In a place where its constant presence will remind him of his love for his brother. The semicolon tattoo meaning: It states that the optional semicolon continues a sentence rather than ending one like an abrupt period. Therefore, each human being is the author that chooses to keep the sentence (life) going on.
